It has already been eight years since I completed the length of Tahoe swim from Camp Richardson to Hyatt Incline Village Beach on August 22, 2005 at the age of 45. I have two years to prepare and swim another length of Tahoe in the Summer of 2015. This time I will go from the Hyatt Incline Village to Camp Richardson. This journey will be very different but more satisfying as I know what needs to be done.

Ben will be a swim pacer and have graduated from high school in June 2015. My support crew will be older as well but still one of the best ever to support an ultra distance swimmer. I look forward to the training challenges ahead and will be doing some distance events in 2014 & 2015 to prepare.
